Crochet Pattern: Lanyard
Round 1: ch 100 (or a chain that is the circumference of the your desired lanyard. Remember that lanyard will stretch), place the chain though the center of the key ring, sl st in next first ch made: 100 ch
Round 2: ch 2, hdc in each ch around, sl st in top of beginning ch-2: 100 hdc
Round 3: sl st in each hdc around, finish off: 100 sl st
Optional: with a yarn needle, sew a straight line across lanyard 1″ above the key ring. This will prevent the ring from sliding around the lanyard.

Thank you I’ve been looking to make a lanyard for my fiance to put his keys thank you so much
Interesting idea!
I’m a Newbee to your website but an oldie crochet addict. I will make this lanyard for myself in some girly color to wear to work. I used to frequent another website called Patterns by Dot. She had terrific patterns but is not posting any more. I miss her. Thanks for sharing.
My daughter works in a pediatric hospital and I am making this for her in different colors and embellishing them with little motifs like flowers, footballs, owls, pumpkins etc. She said not only her co workers but the kids seem to really enjoy seeing them and it brightens up her drab scrubs.

I made it in just a little while one evening – not bad for a newbie. It’s great – BUT I allowed it to twist in the original loop. Dang. It looks great but is not flat. It has a twist. Any suggestions on avoiding the twist next time around?
Hi Martha, I’m glad you made it! Making sure it doesn’t twist is tricky, even for me! When I’m working with a long chain, I end up running my hand through it a few times to untwist it. Even after I join the chain to make the loop I check and double check it before I go on. Sounds tedious, but always worth it in the end 🙂
I just found your site. And I am going to make myself a lanyard tonight. I always use a lanyard of some type for my keys, but I never thought of making my own. DOH!!!! Now–what color to use…..
